Rice Football 2023 Season Preview: Roster Grid

August 9, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football has a 113-man roster entering the 2023 season. From position changes to eligibility remaining, this chart will help keep everything in order.

Keeping track of eligibility and positions can be challenging and there wasn’t one single source that had the most up-to-date information — now there is. In addition to the roster tracker and as a complement to the roster, which has been updated to account for all the final additions and changes with the start of camp, this grid tracks every Rice football player by position and classification. Position changes from last season and/or the spring are also detailed below.

2023 Rice Football Season Preview: Defensive Line

July 29, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

Next up in our 2023 Rice Football Season Preview: defensive line. Let’s dive into the position and break down the Owls’ plans for the group this year.

No Rice football position group will look more different than it did a year ago than the defensive line. While there is a lot of quality production returning, the Owls do have several prominent names to replace up front and a few position battles still to sort out when fall camp arrives. Here’s how the position looks in 2023.

June 2023 Patreon Q&A: Can Rice Football Fix the Defense?

June 28, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

It was a down year for the Rice football defense in 2022. Was that an anomaly or a trend that could impact the unit in 2023?

When head coach Mike Bloomgren and defensive coordinator Brian Smith arrived prior to the 2018 season there was a spoken understanding that their first season on campus would be a true Year Zero. The defense was no exception.

Under Bloomgren, Rice allowed more points per game and yards per play in 2018 than in any years following. But the journey from that 2018 season to the present has been a bumpy one. How did the Owls close out 2022 and should there be concern about the unit taking another step back in 2023?

Rice Football 2023 Spring Notebook 10: Defensive Takeaways

April 19, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

The Rice Football defense once again had a productive spring. Here’s what we learned about that side of the ball.

Despite coming out of the wrong side according to the final score in the 2023 Rice Football Blue and Gray Game, the defense had a largely positive spring. They asserted their will in the prior two scrimmages and made plenty of noise along the way, but they have questions still to be answered as spring winds down. Here are 10 closing thoughts on the defense from the totality of the spring.

Rice Football 2023 Spring Practice Notebook 7: Big picture questions

April 14, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

The last practice before the 2023 Rice Football spring game has wrapped up and there are several questions that still need answering as spring ball ends.

All eyes were focused on the arrival of transfer quarterback JT Daniels, who took the field for the first time this spring. Would he live up to expectations? Early returns have been superb. But with quarterback (thankfully) solved, there are other outstanding questions that Rice football hasn’t found the answers to just yet and spring is rapidly drawing to a close.
